* AnAesop: David is an example of a man of God on what ''not'' to do. After committing adultery and having Uriah killed, then take Bathsheba as his wife, God actually cuts him off until he repents. David is still devoted to God, but when God let his first born die after fasting, David stops fasting and continued with his life. It's not until the end of his life that he realizes he lost God's favor, but while He does forgive him, David will not join God in Heaven.
